Committee Plans To Raise
$15,000 To Be Used In Benefitting the People of North
Canton In Many Ways.
LET'S GO OVER THE TOP
**************************.
* BACCALAUREATE SERVICE *
Next Sunday evening, May
20, at 7:30 the baccalaureate
sendee will be conducted in the
auditorium of the Community
Building. The service will be in
* charge of the Rev. F. R. Sutter,
X pastor of Zion Lutheran church,
North Canton, who will deliver
the sermon.
A cordial invitation is extended to all citizens of this* community to attend this service.
The public meeting held in the interest of the Community chest on
Tuesday evening in the assembly
room of the Community Building was
attended by a number of representative citizens.
The advisability of combining
North Canton's contributions with the
Canton fund was discussed at length,
after the reading of a report on the
workings of a community chest.
A committee composed of F. S.
Casady, Highfield Johnson and Ed
McCarty was appointed to meet the
Canton executives this Wednesday
morning and get facts and figures
concerning the manner in which
North Canton would receive attention
if the contribution of this town was
united with the Canton fund.
The committee in charge of the
Community chest drive in Canton
agreed to the terms of the men from
North Canton which were as follows:
To share on equal terms with Canton the visiting nurse, Associated
charities, Red Cross, etc.
^North Canton agrees to raise own
quota and put on own campaign under
direction of the Community chest
board of directors, North Canton to
be represented by two directors.
North Canton to receive from the
chest amounts in thc sum of $9,433.72
to carry on welfare and playground
activities.
North Canton's committee suggested that $15,000 be raised to cover the
above budget and to take care of our
participating expenses in the other
activities. Canton agreed to this.
If North Canton does not raise its
quota it can only expect to receive the
per cent of the budget according to
the amount raised, but if North Canton does raise the full amount of its
( quota and Canton fails to reach its
quota the-i North Canton will receive
the full amount of its budget.
North Canton is growing steadily,
and in consequence we must put aside
swaddling clothes for apparel more
becoming to our size. We cannot expect to have all the conveniences and
not pay at least a small amount for
them. It is a source of satisfaction
to the people to know that they reside
in the cleanest and probably best governed town in Ohio and that their
money is never squandered in "graft"
deals or extravagant undertakings.
This drive, if successful, means
more to North Canton than appears
on the surface. It gives us the right
to say what shall be done with the
money we contribute, and it furthermore enables the people as a whole to
secure pleasures or comforts they can
not secure as individuals. It is also a
notification to the world that North
Canton is ever ready to respond to
Ihe call of distress and that the town
is proud of its untarnished reputation.
To show a halting disposition in
this drive is treason to ourselves and
our children and the injury it would
vork to the town's reputation might
take years to live down. Having the
opportunity let us make the "drive"
fast and clean, and raise the amount
our own committee has set as the
goal, $15,000
North Canton has never faltered
when a "drive" for funds was on, and
as the "100 per cent community" of
Ohio—a proud title by the way—The
Sun trusts that the people will respond liberally when called upon hy
the solicitors on Monday.
This money wil be expend.led as
follows: The Community House,
Scouts, playground, Red Cross, general welfare, Knights of Columbus,
Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and associated charities, and other ac'.'vities
to a total of eighteen.
The budget for the Community
W'House is a very small amount for the
benefit the public derives from the
house, and The Sun has no hesitancy
ia asserting that since its doors were
Horned the people in North Canton
and its vicinity realise that they ai-*
an active part in the big world while
at the same time they enjoy all the
advantages found in a modern -n-hur-

WOMEN DOING GOOD WORK
During the last meeting of the
American Legion Auxiliary a friend
of the auxiliary, though not a member, who requested that her name be
withheld, gave them a fine bath robe
and a check for $10, both to be used
for the comfort of former service
men.
The robe was presented to a young-
man who is giving his life, inch by
inch, for the couse of democracy, as
he lies almost helpless at Spring-field
Lake Sanitarium showing a spirit as
brave on that hospital bed as he did
on the battle front.
The cheek was used, with other
money from the Auxiliary trea-mry,
to buy flowers for the ex-soldiers in
Springfield Lake and Massillon hospitals, which were presented to tnern
on Mother's day.
The reports read at this meeting
show need of many suits of underwear and pajamas for the men who
are sufferers from the "World War.

Plans were made for the poppy sale
and it is especially* desired by the
members of the auxiliary.- that everyone will understand that the money
secured from this sale will be used,
to -;he last cent, for the men who are
ill from army service.
A plea war. seat in from the hospital men begging for entertainment.
The hour* of pain and suffering are
many and long and at the best monotonous. We who are well and able
to fill our days witls work and pleasure should think of those who made
this pleasure and profitable work possible and ir: some way try to add what
enjoyment we can to the lives of
those who are paying the price of
our comfort.
The Auxiliary asks that any person or persons, chib. or organisation
that can or will take an hour or two
of entertainment to these wcrthy patients will report to "Mrs. "W. J. Evans
or Mrs. Albert Clouser and arrangements for transportation "will be made
and for any other co-operation th.il is

North Canton has good musicians,

could give a f?.w hours of their lime

many who roust make tbe supreme
sacrifice, not 071 tlie battlefield with
its attending glory, but in the torturous slow death, wTiich is too often
overlooked by the raaltittule.

Frank G- Hoover, after traveling
15,000 miles, visiting fourteen countries and forty cities, and snap-shotting everything from a storm at sea
to the boys peddling water in western Asia, gave the people of North
Canton and its vicinity a chance to
see not only views of the places he
visited but the opportunity to Jer.rn
from his lips his opinion of. the Mediterranean countries, parts of Asia
and Northern Africa, Palestine and
Egypt. There was no admission fee,
although the pictures and comments
were we'l worth anybody's money.
Mr. Hoover didn't attempt any oratorical flights, but explained the pictures in a matter of fact way every
one understood and appreciated. Likewise he confined himself to facts, and
when he had doubts regarding places
in the Holy Land the Saviour was
credited with visiting he franklv told
the audience that he was merely telling them what he heard while there.
His description of the tomb of King
Tut and thc reason whv it was scaled
up was a> splendid piece of word
painting because of its simplicity,
and knowledge of the subject. Thc
tomb was closed owing to the intense heat both outside and inside,
and even the Egyptians have no love
for excavation work under a torrid
sun.
The audience, one of the largest
ever seen in the Community Buitdimr,
learned a few things concerning tho
followers cf Mohammed that astonished then;. The people are taught
that the sure way to reach heaven is
to remain ragged, dirty and poor. Of
course the wealthy class pay little or
no attention to such teaching, but as
a race they are far behind the times,
and Mr. Hoover, in his quiet way,
gave his hearers to understand that
he wasn't a warm admirer of their
ways of doing things.
Several cf the places he visited in
Northern Africa had all the earmarks
of chiliznion on one street, an.i a
few yard-"* away in another street the
soaialur and filth disgusted him. He
displayed views of the Holy Land,
am' hi? comment convinced the pocole
that he did not believe half he heard
while in that country. One thing he
said in re.iju-ence to the slogan, "Hack
to Jerusalem for tho Jews," put« a
new h'ght or. the movement started in
the Unite'! States several years ago.
The driver-of his car in Jerusalem
was a Jc-.v from Rochester, Nov/
York, are Mr .Hoover asked him why
it was ho •.-.•"is living there. Ko '-ai-
he had belie*, ed that it was a vie
thing to do, but he knew now thrt he
was mistaken. "The Jews receive thc
same consideration here when they
come from uli.'-r countries that tho
Indians would receive if they left one
of thc reservations in New York and
went to Koch?-iter to claim the land."
Which goes to i-how why the wise
Jew prefers the United States and
takos no interest in thc ''Back to Jerusalem" crv.
It is safe to say that when Mr.
Hoover concluded his lecture every
one in the audience felt satisfied that
North Canton was good enough as a
place of residence, and that while the
Orient has its picturesque side the
good U. S. A. is not likely to he startled by the annuoncement that many of
its citizens have decided to immigrate
to the Far East.
The lecture and pictures were valuable in iv.u*iv v.-a; p, ar.d Frank G.
Heov«r well deserved the applause he
received. •

A serie> of traffic accidents on the
>treets of North Canton in tlie last
few weeks led to the calling of a
special council meeting on Monday
evening. The traffic conditions in the
village have been the cause of much
discussion nnd much anxiety on the
part of the officials.
As the result of the special meeting the village will in a few days
have two -viotorcyclc officers. A new
motorcycle is being puurchased and
Il'l-ii? Kaufman, brothr of John. Kaufman, present traflic officer, will take
up his duties as motorcycle cop as
.-,>>:.n as the new machine arrives. This
addition to the traflic force will give
the village residents, and especially
the children, the protection thoy need
on the village streets.
The council decided to advertise for
applications to fill the position of
chief of police, made vacant by the
resignation of Chief Kurtzman. This
position is growing in importance
each year rnd the village officials will
attempt to get the best man available
for the job.
The experience of tlie past few
months showed that one motorcycle
officer easily supported the traffic department, and there seems to be no
doubt in the minds of the village
ofliciale that the additions to the present traffic force will make the police
.a-pariment wholly self supporting, as
'.veil as make tlie streets safer for
both pedestrians and automobiles.
C. B. McClintock, prosecuting attorney, has been selected to deliver
the address of the day on Memorial
Day morning. Mr. McClintock is an
excellent talker and as the chief enforcement officer of the law in Stark
county is especially desirable as a
speaker to men who believe in upholding the Flag i\m\ the law. A
complete and detailed program of the
day's activities and parade formation
will appear in next week's issue of
The Sun.
Thc program will be much the
same as previous years: The decoration of the graves in Zion, Catholic
and "Wars-tler's cemeteries, parade of
war veterans and civilian organizations and exercises at the park pirn the Community House in case of
bad weather.
Services for the Dead
Union Memorial services for deceased veterans of all wars will be
held in the Community House on
Sunday evening, May 27. The Rev. M.
A. Cossaboom, pastor of the Chrisian
church, will deliver the memorial sermon. Patriotic and civic organizations
will attend in a body and sections for
their use will be reserved.
An invitation to deliver a brief talk
at this meeting has been tentatively
accepted by Gilbert A. Bellman,
state department commander of the
■Miierican Legion. Mr. llettman will
be in this vicinity and he has advhod
Legion officials that if at all possible
he will be here for the union memorial meeting.
To Decorate Graves
The American Legion and G. A. It.
have arranged for the decoration of
all veterans graves with hags and
flowers on Memorial day. An extra.
1 supply of red geraniums has been
] ordered b\ the Legion for sala at
J practically cost to others for ftlciu-
j orial day. Orders can be given to any
i Legion man or to Haak &.: Kolp
j garage. These (lowers will be available at ti;- garage on Saturday, May
27.
To Present "Skin Deep"
As an added attraction for Manorial Week- the American l.ee.io1! will
present the Legion Photo play, "Skin
Deep," in the Community House on
, Saturday night, June 2. This i.-, a

The hour* of pain and suffering are
many and long and at the best monotonous. We who are well and able
to fill our days witls work and pleasure should think of those who made
this pleasure and profitable work possible and ir: some way try to add what
enjoyment we can to the lives of
those who are paying the price of
our comfort.
The Auxiliary asks that any person or persons, chib. or organisation
that can or will take an hour or two
of entertainment to these wcrthy patients will report to "Mrs. "W. J. Evans
or Mrs. Albert Clouser and arrangements for transportation "will be made
and for any other co-operation th.il is
needed.
North Canton has good musicians,
and many t-ilented persons who
could give a f?.w hours of their lime
to these men who rue sufferers, and
many who roust make tbe supreme
sacrifice, not 071 tlie battlefield with
its attending glory, but in the torturous slow death, wTiich is too often
overlooked by the raaltittule.

Frank G- Hoover, after traveling
15,000 miles, visiting fourteen countries and forty cities, and snap-shotting everything from a storm at sea
to the boys peddling water in western Asia, gave the people of North
Canton and its vicinity a chance to
see not only views of the places he
visited but the opportunity to Jer.rn
from his lips his opinion of. the Mediterranean countries, parts of Asia
and Northern Africa, Palestine and
Egypt. There was no admission fee,
although the pictures and comments
were we'l worth anybody's money.
Mr. Hoover didn't attempt any oratorical flights, but explained the pictures in a matter of fact way every
one understood and appreciated. Likewise he confined himself to facts, and
when he had doubts regarding places
in the Holy Land the Saviour was
credited with visiting he franklv told
the audience that he was merely telling them what he heard while there.
His description of the tomb of King
Tut and thc reason whv it was scaled
up was a> splendid piece of word
painting because of its simplicity,
and knowledge of the subject. Thc
tomb was closed owing to the intense heat both outside and inside,
and even the Egyptians have no love
for excavation work under a torrid
sun.
The audience, one of the largest
ever seen in the Community Buitdimr,
learned a few things concerning tho
followers cf Mohammed that astonished then;. The people are taught
that the sure way to reach heaven is
to remain ragged, dirty and poor. Of
course the wealthy class pay little or
no attention to such teaching, but as
a race they are far behind the times,
and Mr. Hoover, in his quiet way,
gave his hearers to understand that
he wasn't a warm admirer of their
ways of doing things.
Several cf the places he visited in
Northern Africa had all the earmarks
of chiliznion on one street, an.i a
few yard-"* away in another street the
soaialur and filth disgusted him. He
displayed views of the Holy Land,
am' hi? comment convinced the pocole
that he did not believe half he heard
while in that country. One thing he
said in re.iju-ence to the slogan, "Hack
to Jerusalem for tho Jews," put« a
new h'ght or. the movement started in
the Unite'! States several years ago.
The driver-of his car in Jerusalem
was a Jc-.v from Rochester, Nov/
York, are Mr .Hoover asked him why
it was ho •.-.•"is living there. Ko '-ai-
he had belie*, ed that it was a vie
thing to do, but he knew now thrt he
was mistaken. "The Jews receive thc
same consideration here when they
come from uli.'-r countries that tho
Indians would receive if they left one
of thc reservations in New York and
went to Koch?-iter to claim the land."
Which goes to i-how why the wise
Jew prefers the United States and
takos no interest in thc ''Back to Jerusalem" crv.
It is safe to say that when Mr.
Hoover concluded his lecture every
one in the audience felt satisfied that
North Canton was good enough as a
place of residence, and that while the
Orient has its picturesque side the
good U. S. A. is not likely to he startled by the annuoncement that many of
its citizens have decided to immigrate
to the Far East.
The lecture and pictures were valuable in iv.u*iv v.-a; p, ar.d Frank G.
Heov«r well deserved the applause he
received. •

The weather man is playing havoc

compelled Manaaer Peg Evans to
cancel his game in North Canton with

A serie> of traffic accidents on the
>treets of North Canton in tlie last
few weeks led to the calling of a
special council meeting on Monday
evening. The traffic conditions in the
village have been the cause of much
discussion nnd much anxiety on the
part of the officials.
As the result of the special meeting the village will in a few days
have two -viotorcyclc officers. A new
motorcycle is being puurchased and
Il'l-ii? Kaufman, brothr of John. Kaufman, present traflic officer, will take
up his duties as motorcycle cop as
.-,>>:.n as the new machine arrives. This
addition to the traflic force will give
the village residents, and especially
the children, the protection thoy need
on the village streets.
The council decided to advertise for
applications to fill the position of
chief of police, made vacant by the
resignation of Chief Kurtzman. This
position is growing in importance
each year rnd the village officials will
attempt to get the best man available
for the job.
The experience of tlie past few
months showed that one motorcycle
officer easily supported the traffic department, and there seems to be no
doubt in the minds of the village
ofliciale that the additions to the present traffic force will make the police
.a-pariment wholly self supporting, as
'.veil as make tlie streets safer for
both pedestrians and automobiles.
C. B. McClintock, prosecuting attorney, has been selected to deliver
the address of the day on Memorial
Day morning. Mr. McClintock is an
excellent talker and as the chief enforcement officer of the law in Stark
county is especially desirable as a
speaker to men who believe in upholding the Flag i\m\ the law. A
complete and detailed program of the
day's activities and parade formation
will appear in next week's issue of
The Sun.
Thc program will be much the
same as previous years: The decoration of the graves in Zion, Catholic
and "Wars-tler's cemeteries, parade of
war veterans and civilian organizations and exercises at the park pirn the Community House in case of
bad weather.
Services for the Dead
Union Memorial services for deceased veterans of all wars will be
held in the Community House on
Sunday evening, May 27. The Rev. M.
A. Cossaboom, pastor of the Chrisian
church, will deliver the memorial sermon. Patriotic and civic organizations
will attend in a body and sections for
their use will be reserved.
An invitation to deliver a brief talk
at this meeting has been tentatively
accepted by Gilbert A. Bellman,
state department commander of the
■Miierican Legion. Mr. llettman will
be in this vicinity and he has advhod
Legion officials that if at all possible
he will be here for the union memorial meeting.
To Decorate Graves

have arranged for the decoration of
all veterans graves with hags and
flowers on Memorial day. An extra.
